    Why do you think atheists are abundant on the Internet?

    Because in the beginning God said, 'Let there be light!' and the basement dwellers never forgave him for hurting their eyes.

    Nintendo President Sees a System for Every Demographic

    3DS and Wii U as consoles for 'the hardcore demographic'? Please! They'll be riddled with shitty, badly made kiddies games, over-priced minigame compilations (which'll be the only things to use the consoles gimmick), maybe one or two brand new games that aren't part of a twenty year old series...

    The Escapist ( in one sentence )

    Big-headed nerds arguing over Zero Punctuation and starting hundreds of threads along the lines of 'WOMEN - WHAT ARE THEY AND WHY WON'T THEY TALK TO ME?'

    Game With the Best Story? (For school assignment)

    Please don't start your paragraph like that, it leaves you with very little room to argue your case. D: Why not, instead of getting a subjective opinion from a website, use examples of games that take inspiration from artists, authors or even composers that your teacher may be more familiar with...

    Poll: Isn't crying about the deceased pointless?

    The latter is kind of jarring though - if you attend a religious funeral and don't believe in a God yourself; everyone's happy around you and has made their peace with the fact that said person is dead, but all you can think about is how their wake is really the last thing you'll ever do...

    Poll: Who's excited for the new Christopher Paolini book then? [Discussion may contain spoilers]

    Nah. I really liked the first when I read it but then I got halfway through the second and thought, 'I've read this "gets hurt, starts recovering BUT OH NO MINOR SETBACK, back to square one, repeat for far too many chapters" kind of plot arc before' - I saw it first in the Farseer Trilogy and it...

    Do you believe in ghosts or the paranormal?

    There aren't enough stories on this thread, I'm posting one of my own (it's more of a strange coincidence than a ghost story though) :) and then one of my Nan's. Around ten years ago - when I was little, I was lying in bed drifting off to sleep when I hit that kind of drowsy, half asleep...

    Do you believe in ghosts or the paranormal?

    I will admit, I am fascinated by ghost stories but I tend to be rather skeptical of them - one of my favourite things to do every month is to check the paranormal section of about.com for the readers' stories and have a good laugh at nearly all of them (I know I'm a massive *****). However...

    Repurposed Office Chair Gives Amputee Tortoise A Leg Up

    Anyone else love the way it eats? I don't know why, but I love greedy animals - they make me happy when they stuff their chubby little faces.

    Anyone else hate British cuteness?

    'British cuteness'?! You really don't know much about British culture at all do you?

    Angriest a game has gotten you

    I actually bit the top screen of my DS fighting the final boss on Trauma Center. Decided then and there not to buy the game because I didn't want to break my console (borrowed it from a friend).

    Poll: Solve a simple math problem

    I wish you'd flown through the window and Falcon Punched my useless Maths teacher through space and time during GCSE. Where were you when I needed you Maths God!

    Poll: Solve a simple math problem

    Wait, what? Where is everyone getting 14 from? That answer only comes about if the equation in the question already has brackets but the way it's phrased suggests that it has to be worked out in one go, which would equal 0. This is one of those questions teachers love to ask so they can sit at...

    Amazing games that absolutely SHOULDN'T get/have got sequels

    I would say any Kingdom Hearts game after the first sequel. I love that franchise so much, it breaks my heart to see Square Enix whore it out continually. Oh, and Portal. Not a joke, the first game was damn near perfect in all aspects but the second just felt unnecessary and bloated. I suppose...

    Ok, the main character of the last game you played attacked you... How screwed are you?

    I'll be alright. If they use their pokemon on the other hand...
